Before Big Sister E was born, my wonderful coworkers threw me a baby shower where we ate, talked, laughed, had fun and, of course, opened presents. From tiny outfits to a stylish diaper bag to the diapers themselves, it was a day filled with generosity and love.

One of the gifts that I received from a knowledgeable mom of 3 was something I had never seen before: a child positioning seat. As she raved about it and all of its uses and possibilities, I looked at the strangely-shaped foam seat, nodded and thanked her. What in the world was this thing?

Little did I know, infant positioners were part of a category hitting the ground running in the baby gear market and would be here to stay. Not only that, every baby that I've known has enjoyed them and every parent or caregiver that has used them has only praise to give.

So when I found out that Mamas & Papas, Great Britain's top company for high quality baby products, had introduced the Baby Snug, I knew that it would be a must-have for parents everywhere.

Built on a passion for style, quality and innovation, Mamas & Papas has been redefining the modern approach to parenting and bringing unique, high quality products to market since 1981... first to Great Britain and now all over the world.

The two stage innovative approach that they've taken with the Baby Snug is no exception and the ability to have a product that provides a place for baby to sit and be comfortable, while growing with them and providing a longer-lasting value? Well, that's a quality that all parents can appreciate.

Ergonomically designed to provide support and comfort, this first seat adjusts as your baby grows. Whether used for resting, eating or playing, the Baby Snug comes with a tray included and offers a unique range of benefits.

Starting when a baby is approximately 3 months old (when they have sufficient control and support of their own head and neck) stage one of the Baby Snug is used with the supportive colorful insert. When baby starts to outgrow the first stage, simply remove the seat insert to use as stage two - approximately from 12 months and beyond.

The wide, durable base with crotch post offers added support and stability, while the lightweight (only 3.7 pounds!), portable nature of the Baby Snug makes it a great option for traveling and visiting family or friends. Whether you need a high chair for baby at a picnic or just a place for your toddler to sit and color, this little chair is suitable for indoor as well as outdoor use.

The combination of the practicality, versatility and style are what come together to make the Baby Snug a leader in the world of infant positioners. The entire thing is easy to wipe down, the removable tray provides the option of the level platform for food or toys, and the way that the Snug allows for longevity is a great value for parents.

Instead of having yet another piece of baby gear that is outgrown by the time your child can crawl, Mamas & Papas has ensured that you and your child will continue to enjoy it for quite a long time afterward. They are so excited about this product, in fact, that currently Mamas & Papas is hosting "Snug week" on their Facebook and Twitter pages. Head over and join in the fun to chat all things Snug and to see a great video of it in action!

The Baby Snug retails for $59.99, currently comes in teal blue, raspberry pink and apple green, and can be purchased online from Babies 'R Us or on Amazon. Plus, thanks to the generosity of Mamas & Papas, one person will be ready to celebrate Baby Snug week (or they'll have a wonderful gift to give), because...
